Synopsis

For over fifty years, historian Kevin C. Kearns trekked the rough-and-tumble streets of the heart of Dublin, hoping to record and preserve the city's vanishing oral history. Armed only with a Sony tape recorder, the ordinary people he encountered – street traders, dockers, factory workers, tram drivers, midwives, mothers, grandparents, publicans, jarveys – shared private stories of hardship, joy, sorrow, survival and triumph – with humour and whimsy.
In Our Day is the culmination of a life's work – a treasure trove bursting with whispers from the past – 450 vignettes, memories and recollections gathered to present an evocative, poignant portrait of a forgotten Dublin.
'Those of us who know and love Dublin owe Kearns a huge debt.' Roddy Doyle
'Without Kevin, the lives of ordinary decent Dubliners would be forgotten. This book is a celebration of them.' Joe Duffy

    Asian Americans know the pain of being called names that deny our humanity. We may toggle back and forth between different names as a survival strategy. But it's a challenge to discern what names reflect our true identities as Asian Americans and as Christians. In an era when Asians face ongoing discrimination and marginalization, it can be hard to live into God's calling for our lives. 
     
     
     
    Asian American Christians need to hear and own our diverse stories beyond the cultural expectations of the model minority or perpetual foreigner. A team from East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian backgrounds explores what it means to learn our names and be seen by God. They encourage us to know our history, telling diverse stories of the Asian diaspora in America who have been shaped and misshaped by migration, culture, and faith. As we live in the multiple tensions of being Asian American Christians, we can discover who we are and what God may have in store for us and our communities.

    Unveiling a searing narrative of sacrifice, betrayal, and resilience, The Disgrace of America’s Empire tells the stories of forgotten patriots—Black, Latino, Asian, and LGBTQ+ soldiers who served the United States with valor, only to face discrimination, deportation, and systemic injustice upon their return. 
    Through the lives of these brave men and women, Michael J. Henderson exposes the hidden hypocrisies of American history. From the Tuskegee Airmen fighting racism in the skies to immigrant Marines stripped of citizenship, each chapter captures their fight against the illusion of equality in a nation built on selective freedom. 
    Henderson, a decorated officer and human rights advocate, combines historical research with personal accounts to shine a light on the sacrifices of those who bled for a country that refused to embrace them. This powerful book challenges readers to confront America’s legacy of systemic oppression and inspires action toward justice, inclusion, and healing. 
    A must-read for history enthusiasts, activists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the untold struggles of marginalized communities in the military and beyond.

    Over the last decades, rivalries, bilateral disagreements, and distrust between Maghreb states have taken a toll on common political and security challenges, like the Western Sahara issue, the Libyan conflict, the destabilisation in the Sahel region and transnational clandestine flows. Moreover, the Maghreb is one of the least economically integrated regions in the world, and this leads to the region's loss in growth, and the disheartening record of missed opportunities for stability and prosperity. This is the cost of the "non-Maghreb".
    This Report aims to unpack the political and economic costs of the "non-Maghreb", understand its historical genesis and geopolitical implications and, more broadly, what the future might hold for individual countries and the Maghreb as a divided, fractious but potentially coherent whole.

    For most of Elizabeth Sawin's career, she was not a multisolver. Instead, she worked on a single, albeit immensely important problem: climate change. Despite tremendous effort, she felt like she was chasing her tail. Unless people began to recognize the multitude of unexpected benefits from ratcheting down emissions, climate change would remain a losing political issue.That experience, along with the guidance of leaders in systems thinking and racial justice, convinced her that the world's thorniest problems may be easier to tackle together than one by one. That's multisolving: using a single investment of time or money to solve many problems at the same time. Multisolving addresses the current mismatch between complex, deeply intertwined societal issues and our siloed approach to them.This unique resource is for local school boards that need revenue for their students but don't want to overtax low-income seniors. It is for nonprofits working to reduce food waste and combat the root causes of hunger while increasing racial justice. It is for seaside communities that can protect themselves from flooding while also improving biodiversity with a living coastline. It may also be for you: doing the work you know is imperative but that is sometimes overwhelming, a tiny drop in a swirling ocean.
